Senior United States District Judge Frederic Block is not only a
distinguished jurist, but he is the author of
DISROBED, An Inside Look at the Life and Work of a Federal
Trial Judge (2012) and his recently published
"reality/fiction" thriller novel
Race to Judgment (2017) (complete with his own music).
He is also the author of the recent
5 Pointz decision in which he awarded $6.7 million in
damages in a case brought by a group of graffiti artists under
the Visual Artists Right Act (VARA).
Come
hear Judge Block, a member of The National Arts Club, in
discussion with art law attorney Christopher Robinson, as he
talks about his life on and off the bench. Although Judge Block
cannot comment on the 5 Pointz case, this is an
opportunity to see the artworks at issue in the case and to
explore with the judge the fascinating law underpinning the
artists’ claims.
